I created this blog to chronicle my progress on the P90X fitness program. If my experience helps you out that is great but like most things I do I have selfish reasons. I figure if I blog my progress here and distribute this to various people then I am less likely to cheat or not complete the program.
Since I did P90X this has evolved into more of a general fitness blog but may still be useful to some. The P90X stuff is still here but lately I am doing crossfit.

Day 9, Fried by Plyometrics

Well I started out strong again today with the intention of going as hard as I could and I did but again by the end of the workout I was feeling pretty fried and felt I slowed down a little at the end. I made it through but I need to keep an eye on how I am feeling at the end of the workouts this week. If I am running out of steam it may be time to move the diet on to phase 2 which introduces more carbs back into the diet at the expense of a little protein and veggies, a little more of a long term diet that is probably closer to what I was eating before.

Plyometrics is definitely my favorite of the workouts, but I think it is also the toughest workout. I can't wait to do it again next week, bring it!!
